A drawing of the Watchdogs baseball team from Young Shadow & The Watchdogs. It's nighttime. They are standing in their sandlot baseball field, which is a little overgrown, but lovingly maintained by the team.

If you’ve ever considered getting a commission from @bensears.bsky.social, please consider this rendition of @michelfiffe.bsky.social’s #COPRA as further evidence that you absolutely should.

Comic panel featuring a kid driving a truck. It’s a view of the front seat, and he’s got a bunch of snacks and stuff set up next to him.

On the topic of Mike Campbell, I’ve always thought it was weird that this song he made with Robin Zander from Cheap Trick sounded like something Jeff Lynne produced, but it was Jimmy Iovine.

I guess there’s worse trivia to have taking up space in my head

Finished the Mike Campbell memoir. I dug it. I don’t care for the post- Stan lynch era heartbreakers and this book didn’t really change that.

It did provide a picture of the band that didn’t seem to be sanitized by the petty estate, which was surprising.

Book cover for Mike Campbell’s book Heartbreaker. He’s holding a guitar and wearing a ridiculous hat.

Looking for some advice about dealing with a publisher that’s become unreachable mid-pitch. If you’ve been in a similar situation and managed to resolve it, I’d appreciate some input. DM or email if you can.

Put a pile of cheap single shirts up in the webstore. These were left over from previous runs and they've just been sitting around for years.

Most are $5, check them out here: www.freebensears.com/product/clea...

I think my updates are done for tonight from the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that has killed at least 3 and likely more. Here's our current story, which is likely to change by the morning once more official information comes out.

Multiple dead and injured in UPS plane crash near Louisville airport

Beshear says the UPS plane was bound for Hawaii and contained 220,000 pounds of jet fuel. A shelter in place remains in effect for parts of Louisville.

Smells pretty gnarly outside, even for Louisville
